  1. I have a full arm cast right now and looking for the same thing.

    I found this waterproof cast liner:

    http://www.castliner.com/

    Does anyone have this right now or have it before?

    My doctor is going to change my cast to a short cast this Thursday, I think I can get this cast liner but I wonder if I can really swim and shower with soap.

      


  2. no but an air cast is a removable cast you can walk in

    you can by a limbo to wear over your cast in a bath

    ambulance men suggested to me a cast with hinges? but i had a purple plaster cast :D full cast over cut cast

  3. yes but it may cost a bit more my friend got a waterproof cast for a broken ankle but you will need to ask for one and you are only able to get one if your doctor wants to put a fiberglass cast if it's a plaster cast than tough luck but there isn't any waterproofing for those.

  4. No sorry, I don't think there is. I had a broken leg/ankle/foot and had to stay casted for six months. Instead of the typical hard cast, I opted for the "boot." It was a little better, I could take it off for a few minutes a day and kinda spongebathe my leg .  

  5. air cast you can take it off and clean it but as far as true water proof not that im aware


  6. Dude, anyone that tells you to get a waterproof cast and says there is one-wrong!

    I have had casts many many times before. "Waterproof" ones still can unravel when wet and still smell when get wet. So don't get one. They suck more than regular casts.
